Careers in Psychology

Have you ever thought of being a psychologist? How does an idea of treating a depressed person with the help of music sound to you? Have you ever heard of art therapy for children? If all this sounds interesting to you, then consider a career in psychology.

People are often of the opinion that becoming a psychologist is the only choice among students who study psychology. Armed with a psychology degree, you can opt for a variety of career options outside of therapy and mental health.

Students can opt for experimental and applied psychology and conduct research on a variety of topics. Areas of specialization include child development, the aging process, social behavior or cognitive psychology. They can find employment in colleges, universities, research centers and government and non-government organizations.
